A LESSON WITH A.MoRAL.N
when win Our Eyes be Opened to this
Great National Calamity

The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men OF our country.
Many of them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full flush
Of life.
Others were sick but a comparatively
short time. We turn to our files and are
astonished to find that most Of them
died OF apoplexy, Of paralysis, of nerv-
GUS prostration, Of malignant blood
humor, Of Bright's disease, Of heart dis
ease, Of kidney disease, Of rheumatism
or OF pneumonia.
1t is singular that most Of our promi-
nent men die of these disorders. Any
journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports, will be astonished at the number
of prominent victims Of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many promi.
nent men in 1886, are really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
When q valuable horse perishes. ii
becomes the nine days talk Of the sport
ing world, and yet thousands Of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre-
gate loss il enormous, and yet their
death creates no comment.
So it is with individuals. The cause
ment, especially when it can be shown
that one unsupported disease carries off
most OF them, and vet "vast numbers
Of ordinary men and women die before
their time every year from the same
cause"
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, and many cases OF consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid
we are told, is the waste of the system,
and it is the duty of the kidneys to re.
| move this waste.
We are told that II the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept out of the blood,
| and these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in . large
measure disappear.
But how shall this be done? It Is folly
to treat effects. If there is any known
way OF getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be-
lieve that Warmers safe cure, of which
30 much has been written, and 30 much
talked Of by the public generally, is now
recognized by impartial physicians and
the public as the one specific for such
diseases. a..
Because public attention has been di
recteu 10 TINS great remedy by means o
advertising, some persons have not be-
lieved in the remedy. We cannot see
how Mr.. Warner could Immediately
benefit the public in any other way, and
his valuable specific should not be con
demned because some nostrums have
come before the public in the same way
any more than that all doctors should bt
condemned because 50 many Of then
are incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side, of that grea
remedy, and public opinion thus baset
upon an actual experience, has all tn,
weight and importance OF absolute truth
At this time of the year, the uric acic
in the blood invites pneumonia and
rheumatism, and there is not a man who
does not dread these monsters of disease
but lie need have no fear of them we ar,
told, If he rid the blood of the uric aci(
cause.
These words are strong, and ma,
sound like an advertisement, and be re
jected as such by unthinking people, blu
we believe they are the truth, and q
such should be spoken by every truth
loving newspaper.
